Badminton is a fun sport and a great form of exercise. To be a great badminton player, you need to have lightning-fast feet, excellent technique and a good sense of strategy.
Steps
Step 1. Improve speed
Speed is very important in badminton. Never give in to laziness and don't reach out to answer the flywheel.
Step 2. Get to know your opponent
When you play with an opponent you don't know, whether it's a game or a friendly match with a family member, you should discover their weaknesses. You should notice things like: he has an aggressive or defensive style, slow footwork, difficulty in catching short balls, etc.
Step 3. Make your opponent move and run to confuse and tire him
Don't hit all shots in the same spot on the pitch or your opponent will always be able to predict your moves.
Step 4. Always plan your next move
A beginner is happy when he sends the shuttlecock over the net. An experienced player understands that you should always strategically place your shots so that your opponent moves exactly where you want and can score with the next shot.
Step 5. Have your opponent play according to your style
If you like to play at the net, serve short and hit short balls, and make sure your opponent can't hit the shuttlecock on the baseline. If you feel more comfortable from the bottom, serve long and hit long quick shots, so as not to give your opponent a chance to go to the net.
Step 6. Practice footwork
If you get stuck in the field, you won't be able to respond to hits. Instead, stay on your toes and ready to respond. Try to predict your opponent's smashes and shots by observing their body language.
Step 7. Change the direction of the flywheel
If your opponent hits the shuttlecock straight at you or at the net, hit it and send it in a different direction instead of sending it back to him, where he is ready to wait.
Step 8. Don't be discouraged and don't underestimate the opponent
If you don't have faith in yourself, you could hold back and lose the game. Likewise, if you are too convinced of your possibilities, you may underestimate your opponent's abilities.
